Russia’s envoy to the United Nations, Vitaliy Churkin, vetoed a measure to create an international tribunal on July 29 at the body’s Permanent Council to investigate the downing of Malaysian flight MH17 that was shot down in eastern Ukraine.

Russia has said that it has “nothing to hide” yet has refused to
cooperate with international investigators and called the formation of
the tribunal “counterproductive” and “premature.”
